What happened earlier

Marik sighed. 'I wish I still had my Millennium Rod...' Some nasty images of Malik halve stripped down from his school uniform, while he was controlling the boy's mind with the Rod, was all that was left in Marik's mind.

Back to the story

'So, he's back...' Bakura thought. 'Well then, I think it's time for some revenge. He's gonna pay for defeating me in Battle City. Oh yes, he will.'

Bakura was walking his way to school and he had just heard from his hikari, Ryou, that Marik was back. Bakura was just thinking of how he would defeat Marik, when he saw Yugi, the rest of the gang and Malik walking to school.

'I see, the Tomb Keeper and his family are here as well. He still owes me that Rod.' Bakura looked at Yugi. 'Well well, looks like the midget and his pharaoh are in the game too. This will get interesting.'

A plan was forming inside Bakura's mind. A very evil plan. There were three enemies he had to take down. How could he do that?

Bakura ran up to the gang and Malik (Remember, he's still not part of the gang.) while pretending he was Ryou. "Hi guys! How's it going? Oh Malik, you're here too?"

Malik sighed. "Yeah, I'm here too"

Bakura narrowed his eyes a bit. The Tomb Keeper didn't seem that happy to be here. But Bakura couldn't let the pharaoh become suspicious so he stayed in his role. "I thought you were in Egypt?"

"I was, but my sister made me go to Japan, because that stupid creep Marik is back."

The whole gang shot there heads to Malik. "Who!"

"What? Oh uhm..." Malik blushed when he realised what had just happened. The gang didn't know his meeting with his dark side, so they didn't know it either, that his dark side had just claimed himself a name. "Uh... I mean... What do you mean 'who'?"

Joey sweat dropped. "That name you just said. Marik, wasn't it?"

"Oh, you must be dreaming Joey." Malik blushed some more. "I really don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh."

The gang wasn't interested in Malik anymore and they turned their heads and started talking with each other again. Except for Bakura.

'Interesting... This Marik, I bet he's Malik's dark side. He has probably given himself a name, now that he has his own body. I think my plans have just changed..."

On school

"Kids, we have two new students in our class! Welcome, Malik Ishtar and Marik Ishtaru."

The whole gang shot their heads up, when they heard the name Marik and they yelled: "OH NO, IT'S THE CREEP!"

The rest of the class turned to the group and looked at them like they were aliens. They all blushed and started wishing that they were invisible.

'So,' thought Bakura, 'I was right. He is Marik.'

The break

The gang sat far away from Marik; they really didn't want to be close to that creep right now. Marik tried to make some eye contact with Malik, but the boy turned his head away. Bakura noticed it all. A little smirk crept up his face, but faded away immediately. He had to stay in his role. And now, he had to begin his evil plan.

"Yugi, can I talk to you alone? It's important."

Yugi nodded. Bakura knew Ryou always let out his heart by Yugi, when his hikari felt lonely. Ryou's father was always away for his work, so Ryou was alone much of the time.

They walked into the boys bathroom and Bakura stopped his act. "All right midget, show me the pharaoh."

Yugi's eyes widened. "Oh no! You're The Spirit of the Ring!"

Bakura rolled his eyes. "Yes midget, now show me the pharaoh!"

Yami took over. "Don't you dare call my hikari midget, Tomb Robber."

"Oh shut up, pharaoh. I'm challenging you!"

Yami's eyes lit up. He was addicted to challenges; it was like drugs to him. Yugi noticed and rolled his mental eyes. 'Not again.'

Bakura smirked, he had him. "So pharaoh, scared that I will beat you?"

"Beat me? Ha, no one has ever beaten me!" the cocky pharaoh said. "Where do you want us to dual?" He took his cards out.

Bakura rolled his eyes. "We don't need cards."

Yami blinked stupidly. "No cards? How are we supposed to dual without cards?"

Bakura smacked his head. "We don't dual! I challenge you to a bet!"

"Oh." Yami put his cards back. "What's the bet about then?"

"I bet that Malik and Marik are gonna be together in two months."

Yami's jaw dropped. "SAY WHAT!"
